- I am so excited
Because Im gonna go to the High School of Performing Arts.
I mean, I was dying to be a serious actress.
Anyway, its the first day of acting class
And were in the auditorium, and the teacher,
Mr. Karp, puts us up on the stage with our legs around everybody
One in back of the other. And he says,
'Okay, were gonna do improvisations.
Now, youre on a bob sled
And its snowing out and its cold.
Okay, go!'
Evry day for a week we would try to feel the motion,
Feel the motion down the hill.
Evry day for a week we would try to hear the wind rush,
Hear the wind rush, feel the chill.
And I dug right down to the bottom
Of my soul to see what I had inside.
Yes, I dug right down to the bottom
Of my soul and I tried, I tried.
Everyone is going 'Woosh I feel the snow,
I feel the cold I feel the air.'
And Mr. Karp turns to me and says,
'Okay, Morales, what did you feel '
And I said, 'Nothing, Im feeling nothing,'
And he says, 'Nothing could get a girl transferred!'
They all felt something, but I felt nothing
Except the feeling that this ******** was absurd!
But I said to myself,
'Hey!, its only the first week. Maybe its genetic.
They dont have bob sleds in San Juan.'
Second week, more advanced
And we had to be a table, be a sports car ice cream cone.
Mr. Karp, he would say,
'Very good , except Morales.
Try, Morales, all alone.'
So I dug right down to the bottom
Of mysoul to see how an ice cream felt.
Yes, I dug right down to the bottom
Of my soul and I tried to melt.
The kids yelled, 'Nothing!'
They called me 'Nothing!'
And Karp allowed it, which really makes me burn.
They were so helpful.
They called me hopeless.
Until I really didnt know where else to turn!
And Karp kept saying,
'Morales, I think you should transfer to girls high.
Youll never be an actress. Never! Jesus Christ!
Went to church praying,
'Santa Maria, send me guidance, send me guidance.'
On my knees.
Went to church praying,
'Santa Maria, help me feel it,
Help me feel it. Pretty please.'
And a voice from down at the bottom
Of my soul cam up to the top of my head.
And the voice from down at the bottom of my soul,
Here is what it said
'This man is nothing!
This course is nothing!
If you want something, go find a better class.
And when you find one, youll be an actress.'
And I assure you thats what finlly came to pass.
Six months later I heard that Karp had died.
And I dug right down to the bottom of my soul and cried ,
cause I felt nothing.
